Is it really true that facelifts turn out worse if you've had laser treatment??

February 4, 2020
Asked By:ElizabethP8 in Washington, DC

I'm so upset. I've just learned that ANY form of heat therapy can damage underlying tissue, causing fibrosis and scarring. And this can compromise face lift results. I'm 51 and have great skin. But I've done SO many lasers over past 15 years -- titan (2 series), Pearl Laser (4x), Fraxel, several IPLs. My skin is good but lower face is starting to sag and at some point I will want a facelift. Am I still a candidate for a face lift? Is there any way to know how much scarring I have?
